(A) The City Council finds that the registration program authorized by this chapter, and the administration thereof by the Tax Administrator in conjunction with the business license program, will increase the efficacy and efficiency of existing and future programs pertaining to residential landlords and rental units.
(B) The City Council further finds that the administration of a centralized registration program and database will facilitate economical and efficient communications, program functioning, data analysis, processing, and collection of associated program fees. It will also reduce burdens on landlords, tenants, and city resources that would otherwise occur under separate registration programs.
